The problem it solves

You've built a whole library of automations organized into folders, and losing even one to an accidental deletion or bad edit could cost you hours to rebuild. Without a backup, there's no safety net if something goes wrong.

Who it fits

A business owner or ops team that relies on multiple automations and wants a safety net.

How it works

  1. Runs on a schedule, or can be triggered manually
  2. Creates a new dated backup folder in Google Drive
  3. Pulls a full copy of every automation and its folder structure
  4. Saves each one as a file inside the matching folder on Drive
What you get

Workflow copies safely tucked away

Every one of your automation workflows gets copied to Google Drive on a schedule, giving you a safety copy.

What you get

A dated, organized backup folder in Google Drive containing every automation exactly as structured.

What you need

A Google Drive account and access to your automation platform's account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
